Well after Ed returned to Twitter, the man who directed his Game Of Thrones episode, Jeremy Podeswa, was quick to speak out against the people who criticised the singer's performance and had nothing but kind words to say about the star.

Speaking to Newsweek, Podeswa claimed, “He was appropriate for the part because he needed to sing. If people didn’t know who Ed was, they wouldn’t have thought about it twice."

“The hoo-ha seems to be from things that are outside of the world of the show. In the world of the show he did a lovely job, and he looks like he belongs in that world.”

Ed has always been a humble star and has stayed close to his roots, maintaining a small circle of friends he's known since school and Podeswa emphasised how down to earth he really is.

“He comes with no entourage. There's nothing connected with him that's in the least bit self-aware or self-conscious,” he revealed, before adding, “The only thing I don't feel great about is that Ed is such a lovely guy and really genuine and down to earth. He came into this with only lovely intentions to come and do a good job and sing well. So I think that's the only drag.”

After many fans commented that Ed's cameo distracted them from what was going on in the scene and some even claimed his inclusion took them out of the fantasy world the show has so succesfully created, Podeswa was keen to dismiss people's negative reactions.

He hit back saying, “I think people interrogated it too much, they're bringing so much of his [superstar] presence into the thing which is far beyond what anybody was thinking going into it."
